Default Painting wheels
I wanted to paint my alluminum polished zo6s a glossy charcoal color, but I don't know where to get them done. What places paint rims?

paint is as good if not better than powdercoat.

Any auto body place can paint them.

Powdercoat can weaken the wheel if not cured properly.

if powdercoat is applied correctly it will last longer and be more durable than paint. i'd get them powdercoated. you'll have to search for shops in your area that offer powdercoating.
